In this season two finale, we explore the spookier side of Christmas with a look at the tradition of telling ghost stories during the holiday season.
We talk to Dr. Seth Lerer about one of the most beloved Christmas goblins, the Grinch, and the darker side of the character and its creator, Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
Plus, writer and creative writing professor Dr. Colin Dickey joins us to discuss the tradition of telling ghost stories during Christmas, a subject he explored extensively for Smithsonian.
And for our pièce de résistance: Krampus!
